Roadside Assistance in Seattle, Washington

The first priority is safety. If possible, pull over to a secure location, turn on your hazard lights, and stay inside your vehicle if it's unsafe to exit. Call Cheap Towing immediately. We’ll need your location, vehicle type, and a description of the issue. Many people panic or try to fix the problem themselves, but this can be dangerous—especially in heavy traffic or poor weather. Let trained roadside professionals handle it quickly and safely.

We aim for a 15-30 minute response time within most parts of Seattle, depending on traffic and weather conditions. Unlike some national services that dispatch from out of town, we're local. That means we know the streets, the neighborhoods, and the traffic patterns. We also track high-demand areas and position our drivers strategically to minimize wait times during peak hours.

Roadside assistance focuses on solving minor, non-collision problems right where you are—like jumpstarts, tire changes, lockouts, or fuel delivery. Towing is only needed when the vehicle can’t be safely driven, even after basic service. Our goal is to get you moving without needing a tow, saving you time and money. However, if towing is necessary, we offer affordable, fast service with no hidden fees.

Absolutely. Unlike some services that require a membership, we offer pay-per-use roadside help. You don’t need to sign up for anything or be part of a club. Just call when you need us, and we’ll provide a quote upfront. This is especially helpful for travelers or people with expired roadside plans.

We provide fast and safe car lockout services for most makes and models. Our technicians use specialized tools to unlock your vehicle without damaging it. This is often faster and more cost-effective than calling a traditional locksmith, especially during nights or weekends when rates spike.

No—always be cautious. Some unlicensed operators prey on stranded drivers by offering help, then overcharging or even damaging vehicles. Cheap Towing is fully licensed, insured, and locally trusted. Our drivers are uniformed and arrive in marked vehicles. We also send a text or call ahead with the driver’s name and ETA for your peace of mind.

If your car won’t start, a jumpstart is the first step. Our technicians are trained to check battery health on the spot using diagnostic tools. If the battery is dead and won’t hold a charge, we’ll let you know and can help you arrange for a replacement. Many people assume a dead battery means a trip to the shop, but in many cases, we can resolve it on-site.

Yes, we specialize in tight-access towing. Many traditional tow trucks can't maneuver in low-clearance garages or narrow alleys common in Seattle. Our fleet includes flatbeds and wheel-lift trucks that can handle these unique challenges without damaging your vehicle.

Yes. We offer specialized towing and roadside services for motorcycles, RVs, and EVs. These vehicles require different handling, so not all towing companies are equipped for them. Our team is trained and equipped with the right gear for safe transport and assistance of non-standard vehicles.

Definitely. We deliver fuel directly to your location with enough to get you to the nearest gas station. Running out of gas is more common than people think, especially with unpredictable Seattle traffic. Trying to walk to a gas station can be unsafe, so it’s better to wait and let us come to you.
